Champions League 2021 - 2022

Hey Gergg, are you watching?

 

 

[Jive Turkey 12629]

i'd love to roll with Pepi and Pefok (or Pepi and Dike).  no excuse not to bring two 9s to every window.

[ztejas 43518]

Nah Reece James is stupid.

[Jive Turkey 12629]

anybody else's Paramount Plus fucking up right now?  getting error signals on TV and the app.

[Captain Ron 12885]

Chelsea slicing and dicing

 

[ztejas 43518]

Juve getting their ass beat. Where you at Bayern?

It was acting up after the early games. I had to restart it.

Juve worst CL defeat in club history. 

[ztejas 43518]

Omg that Benfica miss.

Barca might need to win at Bayern to get through. Yikes.

[Captain Ron 12885]

Might? I don't see how that's not a certainty. They are only 2 up on Benfica with Benfica hosting Dynamo Kiev, and they know a win will put them ahead of Barca. Even a draw doesn't help Barca given the GD numbers. Barca needs a win. They are in trouble this go around.

I wish some we had some USMNT prospects going to play for Ajax. They play such good soccer, just solid fundamentals tactically and technically. Ten Hag was my first choice to replace Flick at Bayern.

There were some rumors that it could be a potential landing spot for Pepi.

It would be a great fit.  He needs to polish things and ten Hag is right guy to help with that.

Dortmund getting spanked in what is essentially a play-in game. Sporting is up 2-0 right before the half.

Gio to the Europa League. Assuming he and Haaland can be healthy in the 2nd half of the season Dortmund can make some noise there.

You mean this one?

 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Bye Bye, Barca. That Leven-doll-ski guys seems good.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Sane!! wow what a strike. perfect knuckler, swerving back and forth and with a ton of force behind it.

Ter Stegen oopsie. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Xavi has his work cut out for him. Barca sucks.

[Speedtrucker 2072]

I like the sound of all of that.

[Captain Ron 12885]

Atalanta and Villarreal playing a winner take all game.

 

Well to be fair, They come in Villarreal at 7 pts, Atalanta at 6, so you know the math.

Villarreal jumped up 0-3 early. Atalanta scored 2 since and looking for 2 more. But we're about to enter extra time.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

With the exception of Barca (and I'm not sure that's a shocker) the table ended up like most people figured.

Sporting over Dortmund wasn't expected. And we shouldn't have let this Juve team win our group. Other than that very chalky.

Good point. I forgot about Dortmund. But it seems they forgot too.

I think the Reyna injury really highlighted some of their depth issues. Getting red cards in b2b games against Ajax and Sporting didn't help, either. 

[Captain Ron 12885]

Benfica vs. Real Madrid

Villarreal vs. Manchester City

Atletico Madrid vs. Bayern Munich

FC Salzburg vs. Liverpool

Inter Milan vs. Ajax

Sporting CP vs. Juventus

Chelsea vs. Lille

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Manchester United

[Captain Ron 12885]

There is some controversy around this draw however as they screwed up the pots. The ManU ball that was supposed to be in the Atletico Madrid pot was placed in the Villareal pot by mistake. They were drawn twice, first against Villareal, then PSG.

This could facilitate a redraw.

Draw to be redone.

AKA, the fix was in and didn't work the way we wanted it to.

They obviously wanted CR7 vs Messi but made too many mistakes to start with

Can we call ManU v. Atleti The Shithousery Bowl?

[shnsajax 3591]

Much happier with the redraw for Ajax!

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

[TexArcher 37989]

So, Chelsea drew Lille then on the redraw got Lille again?  I'll take it.

[Speedtrucker 2072]

This is some bullshit… so they fucked up the Messi v CR7 fix so they scrambled to the next fix and put Messi and Mbappe against Madrid?!?

Man fuck uefa. Just give me Mbappe and Madrid should crank that super league back up.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Real got boned.

yeah but psg is a fucking mess against decent competition.  you avoided chelsea which would have been worse.

TIL that the away goal rule has been scrapped.  Teams keep the 5 subs, and get a 6th if it goes to extra time.
